But police are urging any locals who may have information to come forward and provide it anonymously.

A relative of the slain pair said the 35-year-old man accused of murdering them had purchased the drug just 100 metres from the family home.

The day after the double murder, other neighbours told of their fear of living among ice dealers and addicts.

One of the houses was fitted with a padlocked cage door with broken furniture piling up outside - including stools, tables, a couch and an electric heater.

Residents of Kennedy Parade sparked the raid on a property on their street after raising concerns about the sale of ice in the area

One woman described the home as 'a hell-hole where three people have overdosed recently'.

'The police say they do everything they can to shut down these ice houses and they do nothing,' she said.

Windows are covered with sheets and screens to prevent anyone from looking in, and there are huge holes where it appears the fibro walls have been kicked in.

A heavily tattooed neighbour claims to have 'buried her fiancé and father in past few months but wants to move out of the area'.

Asked whether she had ever been an ice-dealer, she outright denied the allegations.

‘No never in my life. Never, I’ve lived here for 8 years, if I was a dealer do you really think I would still be here or do you think I would have gone to jail or perhaps been shot or something else, with what goes on around this area,' she said.

‘I can’t wait to move. I’m going through a lot right now, this is not fair.

‘I mind my own business, I don’t hurt anybody.’
